Robin Uthappa feels that Shubman Gill has been given a superstar privilege and included in the Asia Cup 2025 squad despite India selectors knowing it would cause an issue.
Ahead of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2025, he was appointed as the India Test captain after Rohit Sharma retired from red-ball cricket.
After the series, Gill returned to India's T20I squad for the Asia Cup 2025 and was named as the vice-captain, replacing Axar Patel in the role.
